Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) is a digital cellular technology widely adopted by cellular networks worldwide. W-CDMA was developed to upgrade to CDMA 2000 and offers increased data rates, improved coverage, and better signal quality than its predecessor.
One of the main advantages of W-CDMA over other technologies is its ability to provide high-speed internet access on mobile devices. With speeds up to 384 Kbps for downlink and 64Kbps for uplink services, users can enjoy fast downloads and uploads on their smartphones or tablets while in public areas with good network coverage. This makes it ideal for streaming video content such as YouTube videos or Netflix movies without buffering issues or interruptions in service due to poor connection strength from traditional 2G/3G networks. Additionally, W-CDMA enhanced spectral efficiency allows more calls per unit area which translates into fewer dropped calls compared with other technologies like GSM/EDGE, which have lower capacity limits due to their limited radio spectrum usage.
In addition, another benefit of using Wideband CDMA technology is that it provides better call quality when compared to GSM/EDGE systems since there are fewer interference problems between different cells sites because each user’s transmission occupies a much wider frequency band than seen in GSM/ EDGE systems where multiple users share one channel within a single cell site location. This results in fewer dropped connections during peak times when many people try to make phone calls at once, resulting in higher overall customer satisfaction levels among subscribers who rely upon this network service provider.
Finally, Wideband CDMAS advanced power control capabilities also help reduce energy consumption by allowing base station transmitters only turn on full power when needed, thus reducing the amount of electricity used per hour, making it a more cost-efficient option versus some older wireless communication solutions available today.
